Where to buy software?

[Richard]

If anyone has any better suggestions, I'm very open for it, but as of now, I'm looking for a contact management package that can be networked, was told of "Act" and it seems the 2004 version of Act will work (I've been tinkering around with a trial version)

I don't recall the price, but seems to me I can buy it from them and it's roughly $120 as I recall. Looked it up on Amazon (presuming that last years version might be reduced in price) and I see it there for $26.40 with commentary connected to it saying (and this is what scares me) </font><font color="blue" class="small">( BRAND NEW FULL VERSION ACT 6 WITH UNIQUE ACTIVATION KEY! CD ONLY! NO RETAIL BOX! E-MANUAL ON CD! HASSLE FREE RETURN! WE ARE AMAZON PRO MERCHANT! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE )</font> or another says </font><font color="blue" class="small">( Brand new cd fully registerable manual on cd)</font>

What kind of caught my attention was the comment about the "unique activation key", just made me think why would they say that, after all, isn't it SUPPOSED to be included??

Any reason to be concerned about that? My fear is buying some contraband and ending up with useless junk, however, since I might buy up to four copies of it, the savings start to add up.

The last company I consulted for used ACT 2000. The ACT database and all reports were on a Windows 2000 Server. Each salesman had a copy of ACT on his desktop computer that used the common server database and reports. Worked very well for them. I am not sure on pricing but they bought one copy and used it for everyone as there were no licensing issues with this.

BTW, I think they purchased it from PC Connection.

They are telling you about the activation key to prove that it is not counterfeit software. There is enough fake software on the web that having this key is a selling point.
